It’s Do Or Die For Your Gun Rights

In an August ‘16 fea­ture of the NRA offi­cial jour­nals, Chris Cox lays out exact­ly what is at stake in the upcom­ing pres­i­den­tial elec­tion. Since the pass­ing of Jus­tice Scalia, the nation has been divid­ed on the desired polit­i­cal ide­ol­o­gy of his replace­ment. What kind of stance on guns do you think a Hillary appoint­ment would have?

Cox has this to say:

“Let me ask you a sim­ple ques­tion: If you’re at home and some­one kicks in your door and tries to mur­der you and your fam­i­ly, should you have the right to defend your­self with a firearm?”

“Friends, that ques­tion will be answered for all of us this Novem­ber. Because the next president’s first deci­sion will be who to nom­i­nate as Jus­tice [Antonin] Scalia’s replace­ment on the U.S. Supreme Court. His [Scalia’s] major­i­ty opin­ion in the Heller case set legal prece­dent for what we have always known—of course we have an indi­vid­ual right to own and use a firearm to pro­tect our­selves in our own homes.”
